I was looking at 1Gb RAM for my laptop about 2 months ago and it was £70 from crucial, now the same stuff is almost £100. Just wondered if this was a temporary thing or not. Bodhi

Last week the average price of 2Gb of medium quality RAM (like Crucial standard or Corsair XMS) was around £135/£140. Now it's costing £145/£155, about a tenner increase on average.
